Liverpool get 1,200 Tynecastle tickets

Hearts have handed Liverpool a ticket allocation of 1,200 for next Thursday’s Europa League play-off clash at Tynecastle.

The British clubs were paired together in last week’s draw and Scottish Cup winners Hearts will host the five-time European champions in the first leg.

Hearts season-tickets holders had until last night to secure their seat for the tie, with the club confident they will sell out the home sections. Reds fans will get the chance to snap up briefs this afternoon.

A sell-out crowd of 16,279 watched Tottenham thrash Hearts 5-0 at Tynecastle in the same competition last season.
